Where will Brett Favre play this year? LazerWager claims Favre will land in Washington (http://www.pr-inside.com/where-will-brett-favre-play-this-r690548.htm)
I don't know how to take this, on the one hand they think the Skins would actually sign him, which sounds crazy to me.
On the other hand, they think we're a vet qb away from the super bowl, that sounds crazy to me too, but at least in a good way.
I actually question whether he could beat out JC for the starting job here. For that matter, I think even if he were coming back to GB, if they made the job an open competition, he would lose it to Rodgers.

I hope he comes back and someone just lays him out while he lays on the field crying like he is annoucing his retirement again. In stead of him crying and saying it was not about the money or fame he'd be saying this aint worth the fame or the money as he gasp for air. He is then carted off the field never to heard from again. Heck I like to see a Skin lay him out.

No chance he comes here. I think Snyder/Cerrato/Zorn are too smart for that.

We don't even have the cap space anyway

God I hope yo uare right. I think someone said on here and it was a good point:
Whenever there is a major move player wise in the NFL it is always linked to the Redskins, simply because our history shows we are the most aggressive.

Good point on the cap space. I'm sure our cap-masters could find a way, though.
Yeah, we do seem to be a lightening rod for controversial player moves. Hopefully a few years of stability will calm that down.

haha, i don't know how smart zorn is yet but its hard to put it past snyder/cerrato. Just think about the jersey sales!!!
But yea this is not happening. No way. Everyone likes to throw our name into the discussion. Every disgruntled player seems to be going to washington all the time. Its not going to happen.
I don't want favre but just think about how cool it would be to see him at training camp. Definitely my favorite non redskin of all time. BUt i hope he stays my favorite NON-redskin of all time.

I don’t care if you agree with me – we’re still going to fight this out! Zorn is a quarterback's coach. The last thing he wants coming into a new team is a HOF veteran who is going to tell him to get bent anytime Zorn tries to give him advice. I think Zorn knows better than to lobby for Favre.

FOX Sports on MSN - NFL - Sources: Packers won't release Favre (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/8335678/Sources:-Packers-won)
In late March during the NFL Owners Meeting, Favre informed the team he wanted to play again, multiple sources have told FOXSports.com. Not only did he insist he was returning, both head coach Mike McCarthy and GM Ted Thompson agreed that he still had something left and they would welcome him back. Despite the fact that those close to Favre have stated Thompson did not want Favre back, Thompson was the deciding factor in agreeing it was not too late to have him un-retire at that time and start for the Packers in 2008.
In fact, team brass went as far as chartering a jet to fly to Mississippi to make it official later that week. The agreement was that the NFL's all-time leading passer would return for the year but help make it easier and palatable for Rodgers, who would have to wait another season to take the helm.
